It's not a codec issue the WDTV supports a lot of formats to begin with, and the modded firmware also has an experimental upnp server built in which actually works but the speed is too slow for some media which is why is why you need NFS that and the synology upnp server has limited media support whereas if the WDTV can see the NFS share it can read anything in the folder it supports.

I've read some of the posts here about the Tvix and NFS and copied their settings but I must still be missing something as it just doesn't seem to work quite right.

I have a feeling its to do with either the root squash and or the sharename "volume1" as thats what shows up on the WDTV not a "video" folder.

Edit: A little more research has shown that at least in some other cases of setting up NFS shares for WDTV with other platforms the reason why it shows the folders as empty is a permissions issue and that password protecting the user account can solve it but not really sure if that will work in this case. I did give guest users read/write access to the video folder than set the root squash to map to guest but it made no difference.

Okay after some further messing about I got a folder with videos to show but it cannot play any of the videos (it can through upnp/cifs so its not a codec issue) what I did was
created new folder called WDTV
gave Local users "admin" read/write access
gave Local groups "user" read/write access
under NFS privileges gave it read/write access and selected "map to admin"

However when trying to play a video it takes a while then up comes unable to play video so I'm almost certain its some sort of permissions problem.

4) With the changes made reboot your NAS.
5) In your WDTV NET.mounts file add the line (video being the name of the shared folder with the privileges set)
xmount 192.168.1.100:/volume1/video volume1 nfs

Now reboot your WDTV and if all goes well you should able to see and read videos from the NFS share.

Hey guys,
I have been trying to fix this stupid issue im having with my WDLXTV Live plus box and my nas. When i watch a movie out of no where the movie pauses and drops the connection and stops playing. It is getting to the point where i cant stand watching stuff off the nas. I have read alot about setting up NFS and making that works with WDLXTV since NFS has a faster connection but that isnt the case when i set it up. NFS has a slower connection than my samaba.

These are the steps i followed to setup the nas and WD
1) Make sure jumbo frames are disabled on your Synology NAS
2) You must have media library mode enabled on the WDTV

4) With the changes made reboot your NAS.
5) In your WDTV NET.mounts file add the line (video being the name of the shared folder with the privileges set)
xmount 192.168.1.100:/volume1/video volume1 nfs

My jumbo frame is disable and mtu 1500
NFS enabled
my shared folder under nfs privileges has the WDdlxtv IP address and read/write and map to guest. Asynchronous is no.
My mount are set like
xmount 192.168.1.200:/volume1/downloads downloads nfs
I can access the drive just fine via WDLXTV but it is running SLOWWWWWWwwww.....

One more thing i notice is that when i run the 1080p movie via nfs it shows data transfer of 258KB and when i run it off samba it shows data transfer of 1788KB. This is based on the resource monitor tool on the synology.

I need hep to either figure out why NFS is slow or why my stupid samba connection keeps dropping. Help
